Aw, gosh. I'm a huge supporter of the death penalty, and I'm tempted to open up a new thread to talk about the pros and cons of it (since that isn't the purpose of this thread). As for the botched stuff, I have no idea what is up with it!

But what's up with this surge of botched lethal injections in the US? I've seen dozens of dogs euthanized and it was always painless and quick. Why we got these strange pharmaceutical cocktails when a dose of barbituates followed by a nitrogen bag and 3 minutes later bob's your uncle? I'm guessing somebody's got some monetary interest preventing this.

My understanding is also medical personnel are prevented by performing acts that would cause harm. Prisons train their own people to start IV's and the injectors are self injecting -- since it's also something not done even daily the people "trained" lack overall experience. Once the process begins my understanding is that it's timed out. The problem is that some of the steps fail along the way.
